The Equine Team at Stable Connections
Our horses are an integral part of our team at Stable Connections. We actually do very little talking during our sessions. Instead, our facilitating team lets our clients interact with the horses. Horses are naturally great mirrors!
They reflect back a client’s behaviors, and true changes and results occur when clients realize they have the power to change themselves and therefore the world around them.
Our Horses
Kopper
Kopper is a 28-year old Fox trotter who joined the Stable Connections team from great friends in Stowe. She is the “go to horse” for children with severe physical disabilities, and stands patiently at the mounting station to get the rider on, which can sometimes take ten minutes.

Charlie
Charlie is a 13-year old American Saddlebred horse. He had serious medical issues that caused him to not participate in programs for a few years but he has recovered. He has come into his own and takes part in both our EAP and EAL programs, offering a unique perspective for clients.

Blaze
An 18-year old Quarter Horse that has become the protector of the big horses, nothing comes into the pasture without Blaze checking it out. He's blind in his left eye, but his disability doesn't stop him. He is our go-to horse for beginning riders and EAL activities with older students and veterans.

He is blind in his left eye, but his disability doesn't stop him. He is our new go-to horse for beginning riders and EAL activities with older students and veterans.
Nicky
Our newest horse is a 5-year old Rocky Mountain mare named Nicky that has had a very rocky start to her life. At 2 years old, she suffered significant trauma to both of her back legs, and was thankfully rescued from a terrible situation. Despite her past, Nicky is a very loving and curious mare, always willing to learn new things.

Our Ponies
Chief
An easy going 18-year old retired pulling pony, Chief is Harley's best friend and stall mate. Greeting newcomers to the pasture, Chief loves kisses on his muzzle. If you don’t pay attention to him in the arena, he might try to go in between the boards and pony pasture to rejoin his friends.
